Diesel smells.

Generally "I'm sure I can smell di... FOOOOOOOOK" is how it goes.

Oil much the same just without the smell bit.

With the amount of rain we have had here I think it might have washed off by now.I am more concerned with how deep the puddles are.I have to drive across a three foot stream outside my house which is the gutter.

You're getting forgetful in you old age, that's your moat to keep the ravaging hoards away from your pots of gold

Don't forget to raise the drawbridge at night when you go to bed
